Shared station guide

ChargeHub users have the possibility of letting others use their home charging stations. This can be useful for users who want to travel in locations where public charging is inadequate.

In order to let other users know about your home stations, you need to add it to your profile in ChargeHub.

What if I want to charge the user to use my station?

ChargeHub partners with another application called Rover to enable you to charge users to use your charging station. Rover is like AirBnB for your parking spot. Once you add your station to ChargeHub, you can link this station with a parking spot on Rover.

Rover will help you setup exact days and times your station is available for rent. Rover will also securely handle all transactions for you. Users will be able to reserve the parking spot from ChargeHub and the Rover app.

Here are the general steps to follow to rent your charging station

1. Tap on Share on Rover

This will take you to another screen where you can configure your charging station detailed information. However, once you click “save”, you will be redirected to Rover. If you don’t have Rover installed, you will be taken to the app store to download it.

Once in Rover, you’ll need to create an account and add your parking spot. Once the parking spot is added, it will be linked to the your charging station on ChargeHub.

2. The reservation process for other drivers

Other ChargeHub users will be able to reserve from ChargeHub or from Rover. On the ChargeHub map, you’ll notice that “Rover” stations have the Rover icon. A new “Reserve” button is shown.

Users who want to reserve will be taken to the Rover app and they’ll be able to complete the reservation there.
